Located a ferry ride away from the city centre, this place is worth visiting for its nautical surroundings as well as its food. Opt for the uncomplicated buffet and you won't be disappointed (we're not talking a cheap pile-your-plate-high version, here). Choose from a selection of Swedish dishes, such as fish mousse as well as the traditional varieties like smoked salmon and cod.
